If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36 

When Jesus spoke of freedom, he connected into the truth of his own life, death and resurrection. Some could not understand what he meant by speaking of freedom and truth in this manner. They wanted to be free, but they did not want to give up their own traditions and practices. But Jesus sets us free from the truth of our sins and all our disease. He heals us to the core of our being by encouraging us to let go of all that to which we would cling in our own lives, and to embrace the freedom he gives that is his life over death. 

 Later in the Gospel of John, Jesus would raise Lazarus from the dead. When Lazarus emerged from the tomb, Jesus commanded, “Unbind him, and let him go” (John 11:44). Lazarus is free! He has been stripped from all that would hold him bound in death. We grasp by faith that Easter freedom. We let go of the bonds that hold us and cling to Jesus’ promise that we are free indeed.
